Stone of Weight (Loadstone)– Magical Item (Dungeon Master Guide)
Stone of Weight (Loadstone): This magical stone appears to be any one of the other sorts, and testing will
not reveal its nature. However, as soon as the possessor of a stone of weight is in a situation where he is required to move quickly in order to avoid an
enemy–combat or pursuit–the item causes a 50% reduction in movement, and even
attacks are reduced to 50% normal rate. Furthermore, the stone cannot be gotten
rid of by any nonmagical means–if it is thrown away or smashed, it will
reappear somewhere on the character’s person. If a dispel evil is cast upon a loadstone, the item will disappear and no longer haunt the individual.
